We take a trip to Bowling Green, Kentucky, to explain how the C8 Corvette is made. With help from Engineering and factory, we detail the complexity of modern assembly, supply chain, and how American manufacturing is alive and well.

Fans of all brands ranging from Ferrari, Porsche, Ford, Toyota, and BMW will learn something in this video.
